Donald Trumpís son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has reportedly been identified as a ďperson of interestĒ in the ongoing investigation into possible ties between Russia and Donald Trumpís campaign.

The Washington Post said a senior adviser to Mr Trump was among people investigators wanted to speak to. A New York magazine reporter then said the person in question was Mr Kushner, 36, who is married to Mr Trumpís eldest daughter and who flew out of Washington on Friday night to accompany the President on his first official foreign trip.

The Post said the person under investigation was close to the President, but did not identify them. However, the number of people who fit such a profile would be very small.

Yashar Ali, a contributor to New York magazine said on Twitter: ďItís Jared Kushner. Have confirmed this with four people. Iím not speculating.Ē

1. Why not Ivanka too? She vacationed w/ Putin's girlfriend

14. I have a theory that Ivanka is the bag woman for "the family."

She seems to slip off to weird Trump hotel sites in highly corrupt countries with some frequency, and meeting up with Putin's current and Murdoch's ex honeybunch. Jared is most likely the person of Interest today, but Ivanka is a conspirator. Of course, that's just imho.

4. If they described him as a target I'd be even happier.

"Person of interest" doesn't have a specific legal meaning. "Subject" means someone they are looking at carefully with the possibility that he might have committed a crime. A "target" is someone who's already in their crosshairs and they're seeking an indictment.
